Lack of labels costs East Lancs shopkeeper £3,500

A SHOPKEEPER claimed she kept shisha tobacco cartons and hookah pipes in her store because they made the place ‘look colourful’, magistrates were told.

But Shabnam Jan, who runs Maria’s Cash and Carry in Nelson, has now been left with a £3,500 legal bill after trading standards officials discovered a haul of 306 shisha packets upstairs at the Bradley Road premises.

None of the packs found stored above the cash and carry contained government health earnings, the Burnley court was told.

Nick McNamara, prosecuting on behalf of Lancashire trading standards, said the case had been brought under consumer protection legislation.

This is not the first time this cash and Carry has been fined. The last time was some years ago and I think it was for outdated product.
BTW. I saw a notice in my Health Centre the other day warning that sharing Shisha pipes could pass on all sorts of diseases. Welcome to England 2014

This whole case is about the lack of warnings on packets of shisha TOBACCO! The operative word here being tobacco.
That being the case, I ask the question again, why are shisha bars being tolerated in this country since the smoking of tobacco products in enclosed buildings has been outlawed and as a direct consequence has led to the closure of a very large number of pubs and clubs, bars, hotels and restaurants?
